Watching Storms To Our Northwest…Fog is locally dense in many communities across central Indiana this morning and it’ll take a couple hours to burn off.  Plan for extra drive time on your way to work and school.  Once the fog burns off we’ll look at mostly cloudy skies today along with the chance of showers this afternoon.  A complex of thunderstorms is off to our northwest this morning and the general track will take this complex of showers and storms into our general area later this afternoon in a weakened form.  Not everyone will get wet, but rain chances will be around this afternoon and evening.

Friday Battle…Forecast models continue to struggle with exact heavy rain placement Thursday night into Friday, mainly due to how they handle an area of high pressure to our north.  Thinking here continues to suggest we’re under the gun for a rather rainy Friday, but must maintain this is a lower than normal confidence forecast.  Central and southern Indiana appears most at risk for locally heavy rainfall, including some 2″ totals somewhere in the aforementioned region.  Widespread 0.75″-1.25″ amounts remain a good bet.

Increasing Sunshine This Weekend…Sunshine will be welcome after a rather gloomy work week.  We forecast high pressure to build in and supply partly cloudy and pleasant conditions this weekend before rain chances return early next week.

7-Day Precipitation Outlook:

• 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 2.00″
• 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

We’ll keep an eye on showers and thunderstorms to our northwest this morning. Forecast high resolution data points to this arriving into central Indiana in a weakened form this afternoon.
